Charmaine Wright MD, Assistant Professor Marjie Mogul Ph. D, Research Director Maternity Care Coalition Pregnancy Weight Management Study • Maternal obesity poor maternal-child health outcomes • Few interventions decrease rates of excessive pregnancy weight gain or postpartum weight retention. • Psychosocial predictors of maternal obesity: self-efficacy, weight locus of control, & perinatal depression • We now propose a 4 -component intervention: motivational appeals, environmental aids, peer & task-oriented support. • We completed 3 focus groups to write the text messages we will use during the intervention. • We start pilot enrollment January 1, 2011.
